this is bbc world news. i'm lewis vaughan jones. our top stories: firefighers in eastern australia say they may not be able to help all those threatened by raging wildfires. more dangerous weather is on the way. our real concern is actually moving into tuesday where we are expecting temperatures in the high 30s, early 40s. humidity down to single digits and winds gusting upwards of 80 kilometres an hour. fires burn at the home of president evo morales‘s sister, as bolivia's political crisis deepens. the authorities in bangladesh evacuate more than two million people from coastal areas as a powerful cyclone moves in. flooding continues to disrupt parts of england, where seven severe flood warnings are still in place,

meaning there's a threat to life. hello, and welcome to bbc news. we began in australia, with those wildfires, and a warning for people to leave their homes or risk not receiving help. the severe warning from firefighters as bushfires continue to ravage the east coast of australia. at least three people have died and there are fears the number of casualties could rise. weather forecasters say more bad weather is on the way. 1,300 firefighters, backed by water—bombing aircraft, are tackling dozens of fires in baking temperatures. officials in new south wales say 150 homes have burned down.

the bbc‘s freya cole has been keeping up—to—date with the situation there. today, firefighters in australia will make most of a slight ease in conditions but as we know the threat is far from over. the risk is still far from over. there are more than 100 fires burning across queensland and new south wales, many of those are still out of control. as we keep hearing, the worst is yet to come. 0n tuesday, australia is expecting conditions, high temperatures, strong winds, we're talking higher around a0 degrees. that fire that extends right across the state. we are talking about the outskirts of syd ney are talking about the outskirts of sydney being at risk of bushfire. but as usual levels of operation potentially at risk. we spoke with ben shepherd from the new south wales rural fire service a short time ago and he spoke a bit about that message for people to get

prepared now because come tuesday, the resources might be so stretched that if they call for help, that help might not arrive. we are talking about a massive area here now that we are with. some 6 or 700,000 hectares of bushland that is alight so we are having to deal with that ahead of these worsening conditions on tuesday. we need people to obviously understand that when they do ask for assistance that a fire truck may not be able to turn up. the winds of those kinds of strengths, we may not be able to get you aerial support. so we're trying to encourage everybody to use this weekend to prepare. freire, you have reported on fires like this on the ground and some of these locations we are talking about. what is different about them this time? well, in terms of, i mean, it is a different location. this time last year i was a new south wales reporting on bushfires ina south wales reporting on bushfires in a small country town called

tathra, and it was completely wiped out. we are seeing that again this time around. to have another bushfire disaster in spring, when summer bushfire disaster in spring, when summer hasn't even begun yet, is quite frankly a frightening situation. i remember talking to people who had lost everything they owned, they were quite literally left with the clothes on their backs, and they spoke of that moment of terror when a bushfire is rapidly approaching and they have the choice either to leave or to take shelter, and for many, leaving their properties can be incredibly hard. they might be leaving behind pat ‘s, livestock, a lot of people in australia own horses and cattle. last summer was the hottest on record. weather forecasters are saying again, we are facing a very hot summer. let's listen to what ben had to say about that weather

forecast. the actual weather conditions that we have had over the la st conditions that we have had over the last few days are typically what we would see in the middle of the worst parts of summer. we have had an extraordinary start to this fire season already. we will be approaching 1 million hectares of bushland that has been burned, and at this stage, the bureau of meteorology is actually predicting more of this weather over the coming months, so it doesn't bode well for the rest of the fire season. "doesn't bode well" is probably an understatement there. what are people on the ground now actually going to be doing? because we had this warning, saying that tuesday is a potential pinch point. there are literally hundreds of people, quite literally hundreds of people, quite literally trapped, in a way, camping out in evacuation centres. they are not allowed to go back home for a number of reasons. it is dangerous, if their properties are burned or trees are burnt, there is that risk but that could collapse. there is also the risk of asbestos. so people are huddled together in makeshift

evacuation centres and they don't know what remains back home. so it is incredibly stressful for them. know what remains back home. so it is incredibly stressfulfor them. we have been speaking to people on the ground, we spoke to bill robertson from read rock along the mid north coast of new south wales. he has been running water to protect his business, running glasses of water out to five fires that firefighters. there is a real level of community spirit. and we have lost three people, potentially more, so it ta kes a people, potentially more, so it takes a huge toll on the small country towns. tensions are high in bolivia as the president, evo morales, comes under more pressure to resign after accusations that last month's election was rigged. his offer of talks has been turned down by the country's main opposition leader as protests continue. 0ur americas editor, candace piette, reports. groups of police in three

cities join the protest against the president. the police mutiny is the first sign that elements of the security forces have been withdrawing support from evo morales. latin america's longest—standing leader won the election on october 20 but a delay of nearly a day in the vote count has sparked allegations of fraud and led to protests, strikes and roadblocks. the president tried a tough approach initially, accusing the police of trying to mount a coup against him but now he appears to be more cautious, calling for an urgent meeting with the opposition parties. his main rival, carlos mesa, turned him down. translation: i have nothing to negotiate with evo morales and his government. not only is there no coup d'etat under way, you have a country galvanised for democracy. you have an entire country which demands the defence of the vote.

bolivia is going through a period of dangerous instability which leaves president morales looking exposed and weakened. as opponents pressure the military to follow the example of the police, the army has made it clear they will support the constitution. translation: we confirm we will never confront the people to whom we have a duty and we will always ensure peace, coexistent in the development of our homeland. with all sides in the conflict in bolivia deadlocked, it's hard to see how evo morales can resolve the situation. candace piette, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news: at least four people have been killed in the iraqi capital baghdad, after security forces clashed with anti—government protesters. it's the latest in a wave of demonstrations in the country, demanding a complete change to iraq's political system.

president trump says he's likely to release the transcript of a second phone call with the ukrainian president as early as tuesday. democrats have been asking for it as part of their inquiry to establish whether president trump violated the constitution, by pushing ukraine to investigate his political rivals. cyclone bulbul has made landfall near the border of india and bangladesh, bringing heavy rain and winds of up to 135km/h. up to two million people have left their homes for safety, but two deaths have been reported — one person was crushed under a tree in the city of kolkata, while another was buried under a collapsing wall in neighbouring odisha. our south asia editor, anbarasan ethirajan, explains how improved preparedness has helped save lives. in the past, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in cyclones in bangladesh but we have developed a radio system

and are working with the un and other agencies and have enlisted thousands of volunteers. one of the first things they will do is send text messages to mobile phones, to various fishermen and villages across southern bangladesh. and then they sent to different villages using loudspeakers to tell people that they now need to go to safety. otherwise they will also use army and security forces, physically putting people into shelters. so these are some of the methods they use and they also use television and radio, warning people about the danger. they have realised that, unless they moved to some safety, that their lives will be in danger and that was one of the reasons why people think they can tied over and sit on the top of the roof and, if we spend another few hours we will be fine but bangladesh has learned its lesson and disaster management for the last few years has been good. india's prime minister,

narendra modi, has welcomed the supreme court's decision to award a bitterly disputed religious site in the northern town of ayodyha to hindus. he called for a new india, free of hatred between religious communities. our correspondent rajini vaidyanathan is in delhi. they've waited decades for this. today hindus celebrated after they were granted land which had been bitterly contested. land here, in one of the holiest cities in india — ayod hya. but muslims have also worshipped here for generations. it's in this town that the 16th century babri mosque once stood. until it was torn down by hardline hindu groups in 1992. the communal violence which followed killed at least 2,000 people across india. building a temple in ayodhya has long been a key plank of the ruling hindu nationalist bjp party's agenda. today's judgement is being seen as a key victory for the party, which is led by prime

minister narendra modi. translation: india is known for unity and diversity and it's reflected in today's verdict. it is a golden chapter in india'sjudicial system. but some wonder where it leaves the secular values india was built on. translation: i think this country is on its way to becoming a hindu nation. bjp and its allies are driving this agenda. muslims will now be given a separate plot of land to build a mosque. while many believe today's verdict hands something to both sides, will it make a lasting difference in healing this country's deep religious divides? rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, delhi. rescue crews are still working to evacuate homes across parts of northern england and the midlands, after a month's worth of rain fell in one day.

seven severe flood warnings are in place on the river don in south yorkshire, indicating a threat to life. one of the places worst hit there is the village of fishlake, near doncaster. here's fiona trott. the village residents are leaving behind. the roads in fishlake are like rivers tonight. unless you have a boat, the only way to travel is by tractor. at times like these, the local farmers are happy to help out. it's how emergency supplies have been reaching residents, all of them alarmed by how quickly it happened. i've never seen it like this all my life. apparently it did flood in 1933 or so. i've never, ever seen it this bad. some people here have decided to stay, but for one woman that's not an option. the prospect of being trapped could not be more serious. we only moved in five weeks ago. i'm waiting for a transplant.

13 miles away in bentley, residents are counting the cost of the clear—up. all this has got to be replaced. diane cordon‘s family were flooded in 2007 and couldn't afford new insurance. they say they want help and the council isn't providing it. as soon as possible, we need skips. they're saying that the wagons cannot go through because of the water. cars are managing to get through, as you can see, so can a wagon can with a skip on the back of it. what are we supposed to do with this? oh, get on with it?! leave you to it! what are we supposed to do with all this rancid, smelly, contaminated stuff? doncaster council has described

the situation as highly complex and says it's been very difficult to predict and control future events. in derbyshire, matlock has been one of the worst—affected areas there. the woman who died after being caught in floodwater near darley dale has today been named as the former high sheriff annie hall. she's been described as a great leader who will be hugely missed. it will be weeks before this village and others like it reach some kind of normality. in the meantime, the government says it's launched an emergency fund so that local authorities can help safeguard people's lives and property. this is the village of stainforth, just a mile away from fishlake, and the police are going to stay here throughout the night. they've got to stop people from crossing that bridge. the river don is a tidal river and it remains dangerously high. fiona trott, bbc news, doncaster. stay with us on bbc news. still to come, a weekend of celebrations in tokyo to mark the enthronement of the new emperor. the bombastic establishment outsider, donald trump, has defied the pollsters to take the keys to the oval office.

i feel great about the election result. i voted for him because i genuinely believe that he cares about the country. it's keeping the candidate's name always in the public eye that counts. success or failure depends not only on public display, but on the local campaign headquarters and the heavy routine work of their women volunteers. berliners from both east and west linked hands and danced around their liberated territory. and with nobody to stop them, it wasn't long before the first attempts were made to destroy the structure itself. yasser arafat, who dominated the palestinian cause for so long, has died. palestinian authority has declared a state of mourning. after 17 years of discussion, the result was greeted with an outburst ofjoy. women ministers who'd long felt only grudgingly accepted in the ranks of clergy suddenly felt welcomed.

this is bbc news. the latest headlines: there's no sign of a let up in eastern australia, where firefighters are continuing to battle numerous bushfires in the states of new south wales and queensland. as bolivia's political crisis deepens, homes belonging to a governor and the sister of bolivian president evo morales have been gutted by fire. one of the most anticipated fights in the boxing world has started just a few minutes ago. but it's not established boxers taking to the ring, its two huge youtube stars. ksi from the uk takes on american logan paul in los angeles. it's a rematch — their first fight last year ended in a draw. between them, the pair have a0 million subscribers on youtube. adam white is the chief executive and founder of front office sport. it is a media company which looks at the crossover between business and sport.

i asked him if this is a sporting event or an entertainment event. i think it is a little bit of both. thank you for having me. today, sports are entertainment at their core. you have seen the opportunity that is presented, but this is their second fight — the first fight alone generated between estimates of 800,000 views pay—per—view. —— between estimates of 800,000 to over a million buys, views pay—per—view. dazone is putting on this fight and they could find it very attractive if they are looking to add new subscribers. —— dazn. those new subscribers, do you think they are going to be diehard boxing fans or will die hard

boxing fans look at this and think, "this isn't for me?" you know, i don't think the boxing... i don't think the new subscribers will be diehard boxing fans, quite frankly, but is that a bad thing, right? and i think that's something that you have to ask — and i know there was a conversation the other day between the fact that anotherfight on dazn — it was the canelo alvarez fight that they had at madison square garden, they held it up because there was the ufc fight going on. before that, and we ran a poll in our audience, and they said — 60% of them would rather watch ufc than boxing, right? so now, you have an opportunity with logan paul and ksi — well, it's not traditional, it's still boxing, it's still an official fight, it still has all the regulations, they're doing it how they would, but it's just a unique, different way and a different take. and i think, yes, the purists, as with anything like this, are not going to be happy, but also, if you're looking at it from an outside standpoint, you have the opportunity to bring in new fans to the sport, which, at the end of the day, that's a good thing. yeah, and you mentioned new ways to bring in fans to the sport, a new way of doing business, as you mentioned earlier. these are two people who just basically started out sitting at home with a camera kind

of in their bedroom, and now here they are, bringing in tens of millions of pounds. yeah, at the end of the day, right, these youtubers — and whatever it is that you call them — they have influence, right? they have fans, they have people that are willing to do things because of what it is that they are saying, what it is that they're doing, and you can't ignore that, you can't deny that. so, if i'm dazn and probably what they saw is the fact that these kids sold out manchester arena, 20,000—plus, they sold a million youtube buys for this thing, they had hundreds of thousands of people watching it on twitch the first time around. so, if you look at that, it seems like a pretty good business endeavour to try and do it again on a platform that is inherently driven by subscriptions. and if it nets out anywhere near probably what it is that the first one did, if i'm dazn, that's a pretty good success. ok, and just in one word, adam, who do you think will win? i think dazn is going to win at the end of the day! thousands of people have turned out for a concert at the brandenburg gate at the end of a day marking the 30th anniversary of the fall

of the berlin wall. the german chancellor angela merkel called on europeans to stand up for freedom, tolerance and human rights. this report from jenny hill. this city set the world alight 30 years ago. tonight, berlin is still on fire. cheering the wall was loathed, feared, resisted. in the end, it couldn't hold them back. cornelia was 11 when communist east germany came tumbling down. i remember also that when we could go to the west part, that...the smelling. i will never forget about the smelling in the shops because it was such an amazing smell i never had before. in 1961, the world looked on as, brick by brick, east berlin became a prison, its citizens sealed off from friends and family in the west,

trapped in an oppressive communist regime. monika was among them. the wall, she told us, tore her family apart. she never knew her grandfather, who lived in the west. das tut mir sehr, sehr leid. by the time the wall fell, he was dead. angela merkel, leading commemorations today, also grew up behind the iron curtain. it shaped her politics, her aversion to borders and walls. but even she admits divisions remain between the old east and west. the revolution was astonishingly bloodless. this, many declared, the birth of a new world order — one which some warn is at risk today. translation: the values upon which europe is founded — freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, the preservation of human rights — they absolutely

cannot be taken for granted and must constantly be defended. for germany, this is a bittersweet day. a commemoration of hardship endured, a celebration of freedom won, but a chance too to reflect on new divisions. but tonight, lit up with celebration, berlin will simply remember the day so many never dared to hope would come. jenny hill, bbc news, berlin. in japan, celebrations are continuing to mark the enthronement of the country's new emperor. tim allman reports. chanting this weekend marks the climax of a huge national party, and it looks like they've saved the best till last. a parade featuring

traditional folk dancing plus marching bands from the tokyo police and fire departments. some of these events had to be delayed several weeks during to the impact of typhoon hagibis. but it was a sea of colour, noise and excitement nonetheless. then, as dusk fell, the emperor and empress emerged from the imperial palace, thousands of loyal subjects waving flags or holding up lanterns. translation: i am very grateful to everyone who was here today to celebrate this occasion. i am very happy with all the messages i've been receiving from the people. then, prime minister shinzo abe paid his tribute.

"the many people gathered here," he said, "the japanese citizens, and i would like to once again celebrate the enthronement of the emperor." there was a special musical performance, including a new piece of music called ray of water specially composed for the event. on sunday, the emperor and empress will travel in an open—topped car through tokyo. the final event, the final celebration. the new imperial age begins. tim allman, bbc news. a quick reminder of the top story, more than 120 bushfires continue to burnin more than 120 bushfires continue to burn in eastern australia is the crisis spanning two states continues for a third day. three people have died and authorities say a number of

dead could rise. —— the number of dead. you can reach me on twitter. i'm @lvaughan jones. i'm lewis vonjones and this is bbc news. —— vaughan. hello. the weekend got off to a cold, frosty start. more rain followed for many of us on saturday. notjust rain, more of the uk had its first snow of the season into the welsh hills, the higher parts of shropshire. but it's the effect of recent rain which is still causing major flooding, particularly into parts of south yorkshire and derbyshire. there are many flood warnings still in force. do head to our website for the latest details about flood and weather warnings. now, sunday getting off to a cold, frosty start. for northern england, scotland, northern ireland, there is a risk of ice on untreated surfaces, especially in northern ireland where saturday was so wet. further south, more cloud close to this area of low pressure. it is pulling away, but keeping temperatures above freezing. look, there's a gap between weather systems, but these wet weather bearing weather fronts will be coming in towards western parts

at the end of sunday as we'll see in a moment. this is how remembrance sunday is shaping up. still outbreaks of rain for parts of southern england and south wales, clearing away, a few fog patches around as well. but for many of us, you can see the extent of the dry, sunny weather during the day. the odd shower clipping easternmost parts of england around the moray firth. a chilly day, but where you're changing saturday's rain and snow for sunshine, it will feel a bit warmer. but look at this. these weather fronts coming in to the west at the end of the day. a very wet evening into northern ireland. here comes the rain pushing east across the uk going into monday morning. some snow to the higher parts of pennines, southern uplands, but particularly into the highlands, north of the central belt in scotland where it could be quite tricky on some of the higher routes going into monday morning. temperatures do head up a bit overnight into monday after a chilly start of the night. the good news, if there is any, about this latest weather system — it is moving on through, so the wet weather doesn't hang

around too long in any one place. the rain clearing south—eastern parts england by the end of monday morning. and then a blustery day following the sunshine and showers, the showers most frequent towards the north—west of the uk, wintry in places, especially the hills. it's going to be a colder feeling day, particularly because it will be a windier day. and going into tuesday, low pressure then towards the north sea, around that, we've still got some bands of wet weather moving through. so notjust showers, but maybe some longer spells of wet weather sinking southwards on tuesday. but there will be drier, brighter zones around these as well. it's still going to be a chilly day. don't expect anything warmer as the week goes on. low pressure will still be close by during the remainder of the week. a little gap early on wednesday. and look at this — more weather fronts coming in from the atlantic. chilly start to wednesday, turning wetter from the west. as i mentioned earlier, low pressure staying around for the rest of the week.

this is bbc news, the headlines: more than 120 bushfires continue to burn in eastern australia as the crisis spanning two states continues for a third day. three people have died, and authorities say the number of dead could rise. weather forecasters and firefighters have warned that more dangerous weather is on the way. tensions are high in bolivia as the president, evo morales, comes under more pressure to resign after accusations that last month's election was rigged. meanwhile the homes belonging to a governor and the sister of president morales have been gutted by fire. the cyclonic storm bulbul has made landfall in india and bangladesh. it's brought winds of up to 135 kilometres an hour and heavy rain. two deaths have been reported so far. in bangladesh, troops and volunteers have gone from door to door to evacuate coastal villages.
